This week on Ring of Fire! Over the past few days, Elon Musk – a man that was neither elected to serve in the government nor confirmed by a governing body – has made sweeping changes to the federal government, consolidating it under his control. He has locked civil servants out of their computer systems at some departments; the NTSB has announced that they will only be using Musk’s platform to make official announcements; And he has gained access to personal information, including pay, from the Treasury. This is both completely unprecedented and wildly dangerous. The Trump Administration authorized the release of billions of gallons of water onto California from several dams in order to fight the fires that have already bee declared “100% contained.” This decision was not only dangerous for the state – one official said that it nearly flooded them – but it also screws over farmers. That water was meant for summer crops, and now it is gone, which is going to wreak havoc on food availability and prices in just a few months. Donald Trump’s response to the deadly plane crash in Washington, D.C. last week is all the proof you need to know that he is insane. He blamed people with disabilities, “diversity” hires, people with missing limbs, and even “dwarfism” for the disaster, none of which played a role in what happened. But this type of response cannot be tolerated, normalized, or ignored. The man is mentally unwell. All that, and so much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

This week on Ring of Fire! According to award-winning economist and columnist Paul Krugman, Donald Trump is creating a massive economic disaster for himself that he has no idea how to handle. Specifically, Krugman is warning about the looming economic crisis from Trump’s mass deportations which will likely send inflation and consumer prices back up. On top of that, we’re already seeing labor shortages spring up from the moves, so the economic impacts are already upon us. Following the late-evening confirmation of Pete Hegseth this past Friday, Donald Trump took to Truth Social to rehash one of his “greatest hits” by declaring certain media outlets to be “the enemy of the people.” But this time he took things a step further, and specifically mentioned MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow by name. Every time Trump does this, he puts a target on someone’s back, and we’ve seen his crazed supporters attempt violence from these “enemy of the people” comments in the past. Tom Homan, Donald Trump’s new “border czar,” says that he is considering conducting immigrants raids at schools in order to round up students and deport them. Homan had the audacity to say that these because these people “broke the law”, they shouldn’t be allowed in at all. This is coming from a man that is working for a convicted felon. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…
This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump and his Republican allies have been trashing Bishop Mariann Budde all week after she called out his anti-Christian immigration policies at a Prayer Breakfast on Tuesday, and now a whole new group of Bishops is jumping in to pile on Trump’s plans. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops sent a letter criticizing Trump’s deportation plans and called for mercy and compassion, just like the Bible calls for. Even when Republicans win, Steve Bannon can’t stop spreading conspiracy theories. As Donald Trump was set to be sworn in on Monday, Steve Bannon was on the scene spreading conspiracies about why the inauguration was moved indoors. According to Bannon, it wasn’t because the weather was too harsh to safely conduct the ceremony outside – instead, it was part of a plot to “nullify” Trump, which he didn’t elaborate on at all. In a post on Truth Social this week, Donald Trump said that MSNBC (or MSDNC, as he calls it) “shouldn’t even have a right to broadcast” in the United States, suggesting he could take their license away. This is the man that conservatives are heralding as the guy who is “saving free speech” and “doing away with censorship,” as The New York Post suggested this week. And Donald Trump spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, marking his first international appearance as the new President of the United States. And to absolutely no one’s surprise, he made a complete fool of himself and the country. He made countless false claims that were immediately called out by both US media and international outlets, which obviously is going to set the tone for the next 4 years. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

1 Episode 778: MGT Floats "Cloud Seeding" to Prevent California Fires; Elon Musk Censorship Problems 38:09
This week on Ring of Fire! Marjorie Taylor Greene is back at it with her weather manipulation conspiracies, this time suggesting that the government should simply create rain by “cloud seeding” and then the problem of the California fires would be solved. It isn’t just that she’s crazy, it’s that she is so arrogant in her insanity to say something so crazy and yet so matter-of-factly. Republican politicians in both the House and Senate are threatening to withhold disaster aid to the victims of the California fires unless they agree to “certain concessions.” This is absolutely reprehensible, and it isn’t something that would ever happen to red states during disasters, regardless of which Party controlled the government. But this is how things work when a Blue State needs help. MAGA faithful are finding out very quickly that they are part of the actual club. Elon Musk continues to censor and silence his conservative critics on Twitter (X), and the MAGA crowd is furious that the “free speech absolutist” turned out to be a big fat liar on the issue of censorship. But there is little they can do about it since he owns the platform and can make the rules himself – just like conservatives do with politics. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

This week on Ring of Fire! Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson announced on Fox News this past weekend that he and his fellow Republicans in the House are aiming to push through a single bill that contains ALL of Donald Trump’s legislative priorities by Memorial Day, instead of passing multiple separate bills. This seems like an unusual move for someone like Johnson, and that’s because it isn’t his idea at all – It all came from Trump who is demanding that Republicans do it this way. This is a stupid plan that is destined to fail. President Biden now has less than 2 weeks in office, and he’s spent the past few days signing legislation and orders designed to help protect Americans from Donald Trump. One of the biggest achievements was the signing of legislation to increase Social Security payments to more than 3 million recipients, and that was followed by an order that forbids oil drilling along the coasts of the country. Trump ally Steve Bannon celebrated the anniversary of the Capitol Riot on Monday by proudly proclaiming “we almost pulled it off!” Bannon’s comments make it clear that there is absolutely no remorse for what happened that day – including the deaths – and that they would gladly do it again if they ever felt the need. All that, and so much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

1 Episode 776: Trump Trying to Save Tik Tok is Just An Attempt to Brag; Musk v MAGA Base; Going Republican is Cool? 27:25
This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump has filed a brief with the Supreme Court calling for a stop to the banning of TikTok, but legal experts can’t seem to make sense of what he filed. In fact, the filing is so incomprehensible that they aren’t even sure what kind of filing it is supposed to be. One attorney compared it to the movie “Legally Blonde,” while also pointing out that the filing is nothing more than Trump bragging about winning the election. Steve Bannon has been one of the loudest voices in the ongoing MAGA civil war, but he insisted this week that there isn’t actually a civil war happening with Trump’s allies and supporters because the other side (Elon Musk) isn’t “tough enough” to actually fight back. As evidence, Bannon pointed to the fact that Musk has already backed down on his vow to “go to war” on the issue of the H-1B visas by now saying that maybe they should be reformed. Musk is a lot of things, but a fighter isn’t one of them. A Republican state lawmaker named Danielle Gallant from Nevada told a reporter this week that Elon Musk has now made it “cool” to be a Republican, going as far as claiming that it is now “punk rock” to be in the GOP. These people have absolutely no clue what it means to be counterculture as they suck up to the richest man on the planet – who also happens to be the biggest dork in the world. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

This week on Ring of Fire! As he prepares to leave the Senate, and possibly American politics as a whole, Republican Senator Mitt Romney offered a warning to America: You don’t get to complain if Trump does what he said he will do. There is a lot of apprehension around the country right now as people reel from the thought of Trump’s economic policies, but Romney reminded us that Trump was very clear about what he was going to do, so we have no rooms to complain. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders urged President Biden to seriously consider issuing some preemptive pardons to the people that Donald Trump is threatening to go after once he returns to office. Sanders made the comments during an appearance on CNN this past Sunday, while adding that Trump’s rhetoric is making him sound like a “tinpot dictator.” Preemptive pardons could be risky, but it may be a risk worth taking. Judge Juan Merchan this week made the decision that Presidential immunity does NOT cover the crimes for which Donald Trump was convicted in New York. The day after the decision, Trump got on Truth Social and had the meltdown of all meltdowns, ranting that the judge was “psychotic” and throwing a massive tantrum. But Merchan made the right call on this matter. Marjorie Taylor Greene managed to unite both the Right and the Left this week when they joined forces to ridicule her relentlessly after she went full anti-vaxxer on Twitter. Greene proclaimed that she fully believes that vaccines cause autism in spite of the mountain of evidence that has not once found a single link between the two. She even earned a massive fact check from Twitter (X) itself on top of the ridicule that she experienced. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump has finally announced where his failed attorney Alina Habba is going to land in his new administration, and she will be serving as the new Counselor to the President. This position was previously held by Kellyanne Conway, meaning that Habba has officially become the new Kellyanne. Her job, just like Conway’s, will be to give Trump advice but most importantly to go out and do interviews about how awesome he is. During his interview with Meet The Press on Sunday, Donald Trump served up an incomprehensible word salad where he appeared to imply that he invented the word “groceries.” He was asked about prices and inflation, and instead of giving a coherent answer, he went on a long rant about “groceries” and then pivoted to how amazing tariffs are – but he still wouldn’t say that consumers will NOT pay higher prices under his policies. All hell broke loose during a recent city council meeting in the small town of Middleton, Ohio, when JD Vance’s mother demanded that the city honor her son and recognize the “role” that he played in Donald Trump’s reelection. The city plans to honor him, but they don’t want to rush to any conclusions just yet because he hasn’t even been sworn in. This is now the second time in as many weeks that a Republican had his mommy go out and advocate on his behalf. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

This week on Ring of Fire! A new piece from The New Yorker has revealed some shocking allegations about Donald Trump’s pick for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth. The report, which was based on a whistleblower’s report from Hegseth’s time in the military, claims that Hegseth was frequently intoxicated, made comments like “kill all Muslims,” and had complaints about misogynistic behavior. If these allegations are true, Senators need to make it clear right now that they won’t vote to confirm him. Donald Trump has issued a strong statement AGAINST President Biden’s pardon for his son, Hunter, even though Trump said that he was open to giving Biden’s son a pardon just a few months ago. The media played right into Trump’s “disgust,” and they are going to be the ones that weaponize the pardon long before Trump even has the chance to do so. Republican Congressman James Comer has spent the past 2 years investigating Hunter Biden to no avail, and now he’s apoplectic that Hunter has received a pardon from his father. Comer posted a scathing message on social media, accusing the President of lying for years about pardoning his son. The rest of the MAGA world is also furious, but it doesn’t matter. This whole thing is only a shock to people who have their fingers far removed from the pulse of American politics. Ted Cruz has emerged as one of the biggest butt-kissers of Donald Trump, and he’s apparently refusing to let anyone else take that mantle away from him. During an interview this week, the irony-proof Cruz actually criticized the Morning Joe crew on MSNBC for not just kissing up to Trump, but “kissing even lower” than anyone else. But the crude sexual innuendo completely ignores Cruz’s own history. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

1 Episode 771: Trump Begging for Gaetz; Judge Blocks Overtime Pay; Trump Cuts Look to Hurt Those In Need 30:20
This week on Ring of Fire! According to “Trump whisperer” Maggie Haberman, Donald Trump isn’t harboring any delusions about Matt Gaetz’s chances of being confirmed as Attorney General, and she claims that he’s admitted in private that the odds are below 50% right now. But he’s not giving up, according to Haberman, and he is on the phone with Republican senators constantly begging them to get Gaetz through. A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump has blocked an overtime pay rule from the Biden Administration that would have guaranteed overtime pay for more than 4 million salaried workers across the country – and millions more would have been eligible next year. The rule has been stalled as employers were trying to prevent having to pay workers for their time, and now millions of people will be forced to work longer hours without any overtime. Members of the Trump transition team are currently discussing plans with Republican members of Congress to expand the 2017 tax cut package that mostly went to wealthy Americans. In order to pay for this extension, they are discussing cuts to social safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP benefits. To put that another way – They are going to take money AWAY from poor people so that they can give themselves and their donors a fat tax break. Marjorie Taylor Greene is bitter about the election for some reason, and she’s now at the point of saying that Democratic governors are possibly committing “treason” by enacting plans to protect their states from Trump’s policies. She said that she’s still open to the idea of a “national divorce,” which she claims would be horrible for Blue States. The stats don’t back that up, and Red States would be the ones to suffer the most. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…
This week on Ring of Fire! There are still a few House races that have yet to be called, but Republicans have already secured enough wins to maintain a majority of seats in the US House. With their flipping of the Senate and the White House, along with their control over the Supreme Court, this means that Republicans will control EVERY single branch of the federal government for at least the next two years. According to Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, Donald Trump may already be breaking the law by refusing to sign an ethics pledge that was part of a legislative effort that Warren herself got through the Senate. The pledge is required by law, and it is intended to prevent conflicts of interest and profiteering off the presidency, something that became a hallmark of Trump’s first term in office. With every pick announced for Donald Trump’s cabinet, a lot of people are thinking “it can’t get any worse than that.” And then the next pick comes along shattering that idea. Trump is managing to pick worse and worse people with each passing day, from a Fox News host that was labeled an extremist to the world’s richest and most immature man, Trump’s picks are scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel.

This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, shocking most of the country by tearing down the “Blue Wall” that was supposed to keep him from returning to power. But unlike 2016, Trump actually won the popular vote (as of right now) and he officially got his mandate to return to power. To make things worse, Republicans also retook control of the Senate, giving Trump a blank check on judicial appointments. From Elon Musk to Alina Habba, some of the dumbest and biggest crackpots in the country are going to wield a lot of power. In fact, Trump made sure to point that out during his victory speech on Tuesday evening. This is going to be a rough time for people with common sense, but this is what the people voted for. Donald Trump has been far more incoherent and unintelligible during this year’s campaign, and now that he’s heading back to The White House, one has to wonder what is going to happen to his mental faculties. The man was already unstable, but his increasing cognitive decline is going to present very real problems that he’s not prepared to face – and those around him aren’t prepared to handle. This is going to be rough. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump is falling apart with less than a week to go before the election. His Madison Square Garden hate rally is obviously getting most of the attention, but both before and after that his campaign was already descending into madness. He has called America a “garbage can,” fantasized about Marjorie Taylor Greene blowing up in a car accident, and even got called out by Joe Rogan for his lies. This is a campaign that is fumbling at the goal line. A financial analyst for Fox News said on the air this week that the idea of people investing in Donald Trump’s media company was “laughable.” Even the stock price has rebounded after bottoming out in the teens just a few weeks ago, the analyst believes that the company is still headed towards disaster because there is no real way for it to sustain itself. The revenue stream for the company is virtually non-existent, and their expenses are through the roof. During his rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Donald Trump teased that he and Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson had a “Secret” that they can’t share, but they would reveal it after the election. This led many to believe that Trump was suggesting that Johnson was going to vote to NOT certify the election results if Trump loses. Johnson is now in damage control mode, and he insists that this “secret” is just a “get out the vote effort.” That seems highly unbelievable.

1 Episode 767: Trump's Rally Debt; DeSantis Called Out For Being "Stupid"; Elon Musk PAC Under Scrutiny 44:44
This week on Ring of Fire! Cities across the country are struggling to pay their own bills after ponying up tens, and sometimes hundreds, of thousands of dollars to cover the added costs that Donald Trump’s rallies bring to their cities. And since Trump’s campaign is still refusing to pay the bills that they owe, these cities are often left with few options other than to just cut their losses and hope they can survive. The administration of Ron DeSantis was slammed during a recent hearing with a federal judge over their attempts to silence a political opposition group that was running ads on local TV stations across Florida. The judge told the defendants from the DeSantis administration, “It’s the First Amendment, stupid,” as he blasted their attempts to silence political opposition. This came as an official for the administration resigned last week and through DeSantis’s underlings under the bus as directing him to threaten the TV stations. A leaked “spoof” video that was sent out to workers with Elon Musk’s America PAC tells door knockers how they can get around the system and “fake” their jobs. In the video, that allegedly made its way to hundreds of PAC workers, they are shown how to use a GPS spoofing app to fool the door-knocking app they use, and then they were told how to fake the responses on the survey (but to make sure that they varied the responses so that they each seem unique.) Elon has a lot of answers to give about what’s happening at his group. During a recent interview, Donald Trump falsely claimed that “nobody” has ever been treated worse in this country than the hundreds of people that have been convicted for storming the Capitol on January 6th. He then amended that to say that MAYBE Japanese Americans that were forced into internment camps during WWII were treated as bad. This comment drew immediate backlash from people who understand the history of the United States. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

1 Episode 766: Trump Begs Elon to Remove Unflattering Tweets; Vance Can't Bring Himself to Say Trump Lost Election; Ted Cruz Desperate for Campaign Dollars 35:46
This week on Ring of Fire! According to a new report from The New York Times, the Trump campaign colluded with Elon Musk to suppress the release of information that had been hacked from the Trump campaign. This is what led to the Twitter ban of investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein (who has since been reinstated on the platform.) But this is EXACTLY what Republicans accused the Biden campaign of doing four years ago, and now they are the ones who actually worked with social media companies to remove unflattering content. During a recent interview with The New York Times, Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance was asked five times in a row to admit that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, and every time he deferred and changed the subject, or he engaged in attacks to deflect the question. This type of denial is incredibly dangerous to the safety of our elections, and it is further evidence of why Trump picked Vance to begin with. Ted Cruz went on Sean Hannity’s program on Fox News on Monday evening to beg viewers for more money. This pitch for cash was timed perfectly with the release of internal polling from a Republican Super PAC that shows that Cruz is flailing in his Senate race against Democrat Colin Allred, and the two remain in a statistical dead heat with three weeks to go before the election. Cruz is getting desperate, and his pitch for cash is proof of that. And Majorie Taylor Greene has spent more than a week trying to convince America that the government is creating hurricanes and sending them to attack Republican areas of the country. That’s why her recent post on social media made everyone laugh at her. Greene posted a picture of a man in a giant tinfoil hat that had the caption “everyone in America right now,” to which Greene added “Yep.” She didn’t realize the irony of her post and got immediately roasted by the internet.

1 Episode 765: Giuliani Sends Text to Wrong Person and Saves Democracy! Trump's Medical Records are Hiding; Walz Investigation? 32:58
This week on Ring of Fire! The release of special prosecutor Jack Smith’s new evidence against Donald Trump made one thing absolutely clear: Rudy Giuliani’s incompetence may have been what saved the country. Giuliani, while working on Trump’s behalf to get Congress to NOT certify the election results, accidentally texted his plan for Congress to the wrong number, which then prevented Congress from getting the plan. Had this not happened, January 6th could have turned out very differently. Not long ago, Donald Trump promised to release his full medical records to prove that being the oldest presidential nominee in history wasn’t that big of a deal. And now that we’re a month away from the election, the media is calling him out for failing to do so. Voters have enormous concerns about Trump’s fitness – both physical and mental – and releasing those records could go a long way to easing fears – or confirming them. Tim Walz, without even doing anything, has managed to drive Republican House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer insane. Comer is abusing his power to launch an investigation into Walz’s connections to China, and right before the recent Vice Presidential Debate Comer sent a subpoena to the Department of Homeland Security for information about Walz. This investigation will end the same way that all of Comer’s other investigations ended, which means he’ll look like a complete fool again. Donald Trump’s dumpster fire of a campaign is now burning through cash faster than money can come in. For the past two months, the campaign has spent more than it brought in, dropping Trump’s total amount of cash on hand to a little over $230 million (which is still a lot, but not nearly as much as the Harris campaign has.) The biggest problem, however, is that Republicans have no idea where Trump is spending the money. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

1 Episode 764: VP Debate Hot Takes; Trump Accusing Biden of Trump Behavior? Kellyanne Taunts Trump on Future Debate 42:26
This week on Ring of Fire! Republican Senator JD Vance likely didn’t do himself any favors in the vice-presidential debate against Governor Tim Walz on Tuesday evening. Vance repeatedly refused to answer questions and lied throughout most of the debate. At one point, he was so angry about being fact checked that he attacked the moderators before they ended up cutting his microphone. But it was his refusal to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election that really raised eyebrows Donald Trump is getting absolutely trashed for spreading lies about the Biden Administration’s response to Hurricane Helene. And it isn’t just the Left that’s going after him – Republicans are having to come out and debunk his lies, too. Trump has claimed that the Biden administration is doing nothing and not even taking calls from Republican-controlled states, but the truth is that Biden has been on the phone constantly and offering whatever aid is needed for ALL states impacted. Sometimes it isn’t exactly clear if Kellyanne Conway wants Donald Trump to win the election or not. During an interview on Fox News this week, Conway said that she tried to taunt Trump into doing another debate with Kamala Harris, even though he completely botched it the first time. But if Trump can’t even convince his friends that he’s not a coward, then he has no hope of convincing the public. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

1 Episode 763: House Republicans Cower to Trump; Comer Sinks to New Low; Truth Social Bankrupt? 40:23
This week on Ring of Fire! Republicans in the House are growing increasingly concerned that Donald Trump’s demands of them are going to lead to “galactically stupid” consequences for them in November’s election. Trump is still demanding that they shut down the government, and if they don’t, they fear that he’s going to go on the rampage against them – which could be just as costly in November! Republican Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer sunk to a new level during a recent interview on Fox News when he decided to go into an attack on Tim Walz’s family, including his children. Comer attacked the children as part of the justification for his investigation into Walz, whom Comer believes is being “groomed” by China. These kinds of attacks used to be completely off limits, but this one wasn’t even a blip on the media’s radar. Donald Trump only has a few days left before he can sell his shares of Truth Social (officially the Trump Media & Technology Group stock), but the whole thing could end up being completely worthless by Friday. The stock closed a little over $13 per share last week, then dropped even further during trading on Monday to close to $12. This is a sinking ship, and Trump won’t be the one left without a life preserver. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

1 Episode 762: Trump Whines Biden and Harris Too Nice! Senator John Kennedy Melts Down at Muslim Woman; Shutdown Tactic Will Hurt Trump 35:53
This week on Ring of Fire! There is absolutely no winning with Donald Trump. Following the incident at his golf course on Sunday, Trump told a rally crowd this week that both President Biden and Vice President Harris called him and were very nice, and then he said he wished that they hadn’t been so nice to him – apparently it makes him feel bad to be a jerk to them after that. But he continued on with his jerkish behavior nevertheless. Republican Senator John Kennedy made headlines this week when he went into a massively racist line of questioning with a Muslim woman who was testifying before a Senate Committee on racism on college campuses. Kennedy appeared to prove her point about rampant racism by repeatedly implying that she supported terrorist organizations, but he shocked the entire room and drew audible gasps from the audience when he concluded his time by telling the woman to “hide your head in a bag.” Republicans in the House failed to get a budget bill passed on Wednesday evening because they wouldn’t remove the SAVE Act that Donald Trump has been pushing for. Now Trump has gone ballistic and is demanding that Republicans shut down the federal government at the end of the month. Mitch McConnell had previously said that doing so would be “politically stupid,” but Trump is telling Republicans that now is the time to be stupid. All that, and more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

1 Episode 761: Trump Misleading Mail-In Ballot Complaint; Giuliani Falls Flat in Court; Conspiracy Theories Run Rampant After Debate 40:39
This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump had a major meltdown early Sunday morning about mail-in voting. He immediately got on Truth Social to complain about the US Mail service admitting that they are running way behind on getting mail-in ballots delivered, which Trump immediately claimed was election interference. The irony is that HE created this mess four years ago on purpose, and he seems to have forgotten about that. Rudy Giuliani got blasted by a federal judge in New Hampshire on Monday when the judge dismissed Giuliani’s defamation lawsuit against President Biden. Giuliani was suing the president for claiming that Giuliani was pushing out talking points from Russia last year, and he sued in New Hampshire because he thought it would be a friendlier jurisdiction. The judge saw right through it, and said in the ruling that Giuliani “utterly failed” to prove that the case should take place in that state. The “affidavit” from an alleged ABC staffer has been released, and it is filled with problems related to its credibility. But while the media and politicians attempt to determine what’s real and what isn’t, they are all missing the biggest point: The conspiracy theory itself makes no sense. ABC stood to gain absolutely nothing, but potentially lose millions, by helping Kamala Harris. All that, and more, on this week’s Ring of Fire podcast!…

1 Episode 760: Trump Goes to Arlington and May Have Broke the Law; Past Interviews of Vance are Haunting Him 43:55
This week on Ring of Fire! At a time when Donald Trump can’t afford any slip ups, his campaign made a massive unforced error this week during a photo op at Arlington National Cemetery. The former president appeared to take some pictures and lay a wreath, but now reports suggest that this whole incident may have been illegal. Making things even worse is the fact that his staff got into a fight at the event, and they then doubled down on the attacks after everything ended. Once again, past comments by Senator J.D. Vance have come back to cause chaos for the Trump campaign. This time, it was comments that he made on a podcast in 2021, where he claimed that people that don’t have children are “disturbing” to him. Comments like these are absolutely killing the Trump campaign with voters, and it doesn’t look like there is any end in sight to Vance’s horrible comments from the past. Conservative radio host Erick Erickson has had enough of the “Trump Cult,” and he blasted them during a recent segment on his program for attacking anyone that doesn’t “hump” Trump’s leg. At one point, he grew so irate that he exclaimed “screw you people” after he talked about how he had probably given more money to Trump than any of them. This is a crack in the support for Trump, even if Erickson still says he’ll vote for him. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump went even further off the deep end this past weekend, ranting on Truth Social like a complete lunatic. At one point, he even asked how Kamala Harris even has a “right” to run for President, suggesting that she is somehow an illegitimate person. These attacks are going to continue to get more unhinged and more panicked as his campaign keeps failing. Staunch Trump ally, and former Fox and Newsmax host, Eric Bolling had an epic meltdown that he felt the need to post to social media. His meltdown was supposed to serve as a warning to Donald Trump, but it came across more as a very public nervous breakdown. During a profane video rant, Bolling exclaimed to Trump that “we’re losing!” and then proceeded to complain about the fact that Fox News got crushed in the ratings by MSNBC last week during the Democratic convention. There are plenty of meltdowns to go around among Republicans these days. Marjorie Taylor Greene has reemerged from whatever cave she’s been hiding in for the last few weeks to spread more lies and hatred towards Democrats. This time, her anger and lies were directed right at Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Greene claimed supports the idea of abortion right up until the moment of birth. That has never been a thing in this country, and it has never even been an idea that Democrats have pushed or supported. Donald Trump just can’t stop himself from lying all of the time, even about things that don’t matter. This week, a reporter asked him a simple question about what he’s doing to prep for his upcoming debate against Kamala Harris, and he replied that he’s not really doing anything to prep for the debate. But his campaign had already previously confirmed that they had pulled in Tulsi Gabbard to help with his prep, so we know that he’s just lying to make himself look tough and not like the scared little boy that he is.

1 Episode 758: Republican's Pitiful Impeachment Attempt; Trump Family Sees Mental Decline in Former President; MTG Missing? 40:31
This week on Ring of Fire! House Republicans released their long-delayed impeachment inquiry report on Monday (to coincide with the start of the Democratic Convention) and they clearly admit that the President did not commit any crimes. HOWEVER, they are still recommending impeachment because they claim that the family traded on their name to get business deals (which they even admit isn’t technically a crime.) During a recent interview, Donald Trump’s nephew Fred Trump III suggested that his uncle could be suffering from dementia – just like his father and grandfather suffered from. The family medical history is not working in Trump’s favor, and the mental lapses and cognitive issues with Trump are well documented and actually getting worse. Just when you think that J.D. Vance can’t get any dumber, he goes and proves you wrong. During an appearance on Fox News this past weekend, Vance compared Kamala Harris to Jeff Epstein, and the internet had a field day with it. Vance seems to forget that his running mate, Donald Trump, was not only listed on Epstein’s flight log and once was the target of a lawsuit from one of Epstein’s victims – but Trump is also currently flying around on Epstein’s old plane! Marjorie Taylor Greene appears to have dropped off the face of the map. Aside from a few posts on social media attacking Democrats – which easily could have been from her staffers – Greene has disappeared from conservative media. No interviews, no speeches, no random appearances where she’s acting like a lunatic on camera. NOTHING. Are Republicans trying to hide her as the election appears to be slipping further away from them? All that, and so much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

This week on Ring of Fire! Americans from all across the political spectrum were shocked and appalled by Donald Trump’s reality-defying posts on Truth Social throughout the day on Sunday, and even some of Trump’s own supporters admitted that he is losing his mind. The posts were nothing short of insanity, and could easily be evidence of a severe mental illness. Nevertheless, not a single major media outlet was talking about it on Monday morning – the either moved on or completely ignored it. A new survey appears to have confirmed that Donald Trump could not have picked a worse running mate than J.D. Vance. A majority voters say that Vance is not only “weird,” but also “anti-woman,” and that’s just the tip of the iceberg that the Trump campaign is running into. Voters dislike virtually everything about Vance, and he’s definitely dragging the ticket down. Donald Trump is about to get his lawyers in a heap of trouble after it was announced that he is suing the Department of Justice for $100 million over the execution of the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. The judge overseeing the documents case – Judge Aileen Cannon – has already ruled that the warrant was executed correctly and legally, which means there’s already no case. His lawyers who file the suit will undoubtedly be sanctioned as a result. Current and former Republican officials are now begging Donald Trump to fix his campaign before he sinks the entire Republican Party. That’s not a small ask, especially considering the fact that Trump becomes increasingly unhinged as he continues to sink in the polls. Trump is his own worst enemy, and there’s virtually no way to get him to stop being who he is. All that, and much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!…

This week on Ring of Fire! Unlike Donald Trump, Kamala Harris took some time and weighed her options before picking her running mate, and her announcement on Tuesday morning was met with overwhelming approval (unlike Trump’s pick of J.D. Vance.) Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will now be on the ballot with Harris in November, and she couldn’t have picked a better running mate to shore up any weaknesses that her campaign may have. Donald Trump has spent years telling us that President Biden is too old to do the job, and now he’s probably wishing that he never made that claim. Another new poll has found that a majority of voters believe that Trump is too old to be president, and too mentally unfit to hold the job. These are the same attacks that Trump leveled against Biden, and now they are coming back to bite him. Nothing is going right for Donald Trump, and he’s losing his mind as a result of it. For the past week, every new poll that has come out has delivered more and more bad news, with the bad news seemingly getting worse with each new poll. It is time to face the reality of the fact that the only reason Trump was even competitive in the first place was because people were tired of President Biden, and now that he’s out, voters are energized and happy, and that’s horrible for Trump. Because J.D. Vance is doing such a horrible job of cleaning up his “childless cat lady comments,” the campaign has decided to put him on the shelf and instead send out his wife, Usha, to smooth things over. Usha Vance did an interview that aired on Fox & Friends on Monday morning where she wrote off her husband’s misogynistic attack on women, but her assurances are being undermined by JD’s insistence on repeating the statements over and over again.

This week on Ring of Fire! An adviser for Kamala Harris coined a new attack against Republicans in a recent campaign email, and it is one that is now driving Republicans insane. The attack is simple: Republicans are weird, sick freaks. But the simplicity of it is what is driving conservatives up the wall, to the point where Vivek Ramaswamy got blasted on social media for whining about the "juvenile" name-calling from the Left. Things keep getting worse for Republicans as they continue to rip each other apart. Recently, Republican Senator Rick Scott tore into Mitch McConnell for being a "dictator" in the Senate within his own Republican caucus. Scott wants McConnell's job so bad that he can taste it, but the last time he tried to do it he went down in flames and ended up losing his position as head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. While there are plenty of Republicans in the Senate and House who love Donald Trump’s pick of J.D. Vance, there is a growing chorus of others who are hoping Trump makes a switch before it is too late. Trump has about a week left before he can’t make any changes to the ticket (due to state rules about declared and nominated candidates), but it isn’t likely that he’ll make a switch – it would be an admission of failure, and Trump will never do that. Donald Trump pulled an all-nighter on Truth Social this week, staying up and posting about how much he hates the conservative cable news network. The convicted felon posted a series of memes about how bad Fox has allegedly gotten, and how Republicans will have to win this year’s election without them. This shows not only Trump’s further descent into madness, but it also proves that Republicans view Fox as a political arm of their campaigns.

This week on Ring of Fire! Biden is out, and it looks like Kamala Harris is the new nominee, and the Democratic Party is absolutely crushing it in fundraising, polls, and in driving Donald Trump insane with this move. Things are finally starting to look up for the Democrats. Reports suggest that Trump is already regretting his pick of J.D. Vance as his running mate as the junior Ohio senator continues to flop hard on the campaign trail. Marjorie Taylor Greene went berserk during a House hearing this week when she thought about the prospect of Donald Trump going to prison for his 34 felony convictions. And Trump is now threatening to sue the Justice Department for executing their search warrant at Mar-a-Lago - but that lawsuit is destined to become one of Trump's biggest humiliations ever (if it even happens.) All that, and so much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!…
This week on Ring of Fire! Donald Trump is celebrating the fact that Judge Aileen Cannon completely bastardized the justice system this week, and part of his celebration included an absolutely unhinged post on Truth Social. The former President praised the judge and then called for all cases against him to be dismissed in a show of "unity" for the nation, and then he launched a completely fact-free attack on the Democrats (right after calling for unity.) Buried deep in a story from Axios this week is a statement from a "senior House Democrat" who told the outlet that Democrats have already "resigned themselves" to a second term of Donald Trump in The White House. This is a shocking statement, and it deserved far more coverage than Axios gave it. This means that Democrats are either giving up the fight before it even begins, or that they believe there is no way to beat Teflon Don. Donald Trump's campaign is not wasting any time using the imagery of Saturday's shooting in their campaign fundraising pitches, which is what everyone knew would happen. On Monday, the campaign sent out an email that featured the photo of a bloody Trump raising his fist after being shot at on Saturday, with the email saying "FEAR NOT!" followed by a stream of statements depicting Trump as some sort of hero. Donald Trump has repeatedly trashed electric vehicles and has promised to return America to gasoline cars if he returns to office. In spite of those promises, Elon Musk has decided to pledge $45 million per month to a Trump-supporting Super PAC, even though Musk owns the largest all-electric car companies in the country. He'll likely end up regretting this decision in the long run. All that, and more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!…

This week on Ring of Fire! In a powerful letter delivered to Congressional Democrats on Monday, President Biden made it crystal clear that he is not dropping out of the presidential race and that it was time to drop the talk of replacing him and move forward on a united front. This comes as an increasing, though still small, number of elected Democrats are calling for him to drop out of the race - along with donors and 70% of liberal voters. But Biden is adamant that he can do the job. Most of the media attention for the past week and a half has been on President Biden following his debate performance. The few times the media talked about Donald Trump it centered on how dangerous he could become due to the Supreme Court's immunity ruling and Project 2025. Trump, according to Democrats, has been hiding out for the last week, hoping to keep the media spotlight on Biden, but Democrats are now calling him out of hiding to shift the media's focus. During a recent interview with Steve Bannon (before he was incarcerated), Donald Trump ally Kash Patel issued a direct threat to those of us on the Left. Patel stated clearly that "we're going to come after you," referring to anyone that has gone after Trump in the media in a way that Patel and Trump's other allies don't approve of. This is not just unconstitutional, it is insanely dangerous for the future of this country. Kellyanne Conway is going to continue to get paid to push propaganda for Donald Trump, and her payday is getting even bigger. Fox announced this week that Conway would soon begin hosting her own show on Fox Nation, the network's streaming platform, just in time to push pro-Trump nonsense ahead of the election. Trump spent the weekend railing against the network on Truth Social, so maybe this was their attempt to appease him. All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!…
